I would like to express my deepest
gratitude to Isha Schaller de Lubiczí who wrote an inspiring and
precious esoteric book entitled Journey into the Light. Her inner
wisdom and spiritual Knowledge have guided me in this discourse.

At the core of its essence, each human soul
has a spiritual number, a very specific and unique number.
This particular number gives the soul its own entity. Moreover,
every spiritual number originates in the absolute unity of the
unmanifested source of the soul and is contained in the Divine
Totality. Consequently, all created souls have distinctive numbers,
and are blessed with the characteristics inherent in their
particular number, characteristics that distinguish one soul from
all other souls.

These numbers are seed ideas originating
from the unmanifested Center of Pure Being. Esoterically, because they
represent abstract divine ideas, numbers allow us to understand what
is beyond ordinary human comprehension. The meaning of numbers and
the role that each number plays is rooted in the esoteric meaning of
sacred numbers and the fact that each number is the embodiment of a
Divine idea.

By opening our intuition, we can
distinguish their intangible and spiritual qualities. Numbers are
interconnected with levels of consciousness, so when we meditate and
work with an esoteric number, we are working from a corresponding
level of consciousness within ourselves and allow the number to
affect our own level of consciousness and intuition. Esoteric
meditation and work with numbers, therefore, helps us attain the
meaning of existence and of causality.

Numerology is one of the oldest sciences of
symbols. Plato called it "the highest level of knowledge"
and Pythagoras regarded it as "the essence of cosmic and inward
harmony." No two numbers are identical, and as each soul is
blessed with the characteristics of its own number, these
distinctions make each soul different from all other souls.

Some traditions liken souls to stars. Now,
a star emits its own light, but this visible star is only the
physical body of the spiritual star. However, the visible light
emitted is not its only emanation. Our sun emits other types of
radiation, differentiated by the number of their vibration, the sum
of which constitutes a vibrating sphere that embraces the planets of
the solar system. That we can detect each type of radiation
individually (infrared, light, ultraviolet, etc.) shows that they
co-exist without blending, due to their various vibratory states.
However, despite their diversity, all of these emanations are part
of a single sun.

This image sheds light on the twin aspects
of the soul entity that together constitute a unique essence: the
characteristics of its number called the permanent witness,
which imprints its signature on the newborn, and that divine essence
(pure eternal light, which is impersonal and non-specific) termed
the spiritual witness. Early Christian doctrine referred to
the spiritual witness simply as spirit, and the permanent
witnessas soul. So, what we call soul and spirit are
both aspects of the soul entity that unfolds within us when our
level of consciousness allows us to attune and harmonize with these
two aspects of the immortal soul, the two witnesses of manís
number-entity.

Unless we know who we are, how can we
genuinely give ourselves to others? So, probably the most important
journey we shall ever take is the one inward. The quest can be long,
but help is at hand, and we are never left alone. Our two witnesses
are our divine guides and they accompany us on our sacred quest to
the core of our soul entity from whence they came. Therefore,
approach the quest without fear, look inward, and awaken your two
witnesses within your soul entity and allow them to carry you to
fulfill your destiny. And from two, you will become three a trinity
and a star is born.

It is important to recognize and understand
the differences between the witnessesí functions and roles. Our
psyche is governed on a lower level by these two distinct energies,
one masculine and the other feminine. Spiritual psychology tells us
that the feminine energy, or the passive part of the soul, cannot
function properly without her masculine counterpart, and that in
turn, the masculine element of the soul cannot work correctly
without its feminine counterpart. The feminine soul element
represents the inner "womb" in which archetypal seed ideas
are allowed to germinate and grow; and the masculine executes and
acts upon these archetypal seed ideas. So we must first create a
pure space within ourselves (the passive and feminine aspect of God
or Pure Being) so as to be able to cultivate good thoughts and kind
feelings towards everything around us. Then, from that level of
consciousness, our ego manifests and executes our spiritual seed
ideas as harmoniously and blamelessly as they are in their original
state.
